560 A2 not a bad choice either. which gc are you planning on using? nvidia goes to 560 A2, ati goes to TA690G. i'm not sure it is related or not, but some of my friends having problem on using ati card on nforce board

p/s: it's been a long time since my last visit this thread, and now v3 already? congrats nice 1st post too

how about Phenom X4 score on Crysis demo benchmark? is it true?

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=13854108

because if it is, Phenom X4 is not that good compared to QX i hope AMD can rise again, with some reasonable price too

cooler master extreme, is it a good choice to replace ayam brand psu there? i'm having the same problem too, but then when i think of it, kinda waste for me to spend rm300+ just to increase 0.1-0.2ghz. so far it is stable, and still working

btw any news regarding phenom?

Understand that, thank you very much it just for my purpose, current psu is good enough. It just not good enough to reach higher MHz in OCing. at least i'll buy better ones until it dead or new setup

Just realize coz it has been a while since my last visit, and X2 3800+ F3 already 3.5GHz? Can any Brisbane reach like that? And look at that vcore, is it safe or is it for suicide OC only?

@CV6149: it is a poison to me too i'm not the type of "ehh it didn't happen to me" or something like that. i always seek out advice and read up posts from all sifu here. for the mean time, yes it is good enough for me. but i will get better psu for future proof, and to supply more juice to my system once i got the money. it is a problem for me as i'm only a student

i see F3 can reach up to 3.5~3.7GHz, in air cooling or water? is it safe for daily usage? i mean like 24/7. and HTL, no more keeping under 1GHz is it?

someone pls test it out if it is already in malaysia oh wait, better wait for the board to test with the real phenom

what's the meaning of 5.2G of HTT?

i know but what does it mean? current boards HTT 2G, is it the HTL? i'm confused

the price might be around Q6600. direct convert it should be RM800+, plus shipping and so on as we all know, might be around RM950

just curious, i usually keep my HTL below 1GHz but is it ok for daily usage 24/7 that HTL exceeds 1GHz?

i just realize something on my system. x2 3600+ with ram div 533, isn't it suppose to be /7? currently displayed in everest ultimate and latest cpu-z as /8

i know that, but isn't 533 for 3600+ suppose to be /7 ? that's the question

anyone care to explain? we all previously uses 533 ram div as /7, but now it is /8 already

Nope, not different RAM but rather different version of cpuz. One is 1.40 and the other is 1.41

1.40 stated /7 just like previous OCer who already submitted their benchies. 1.41 is the latest ones, stated /8 which making me confuse on which divider should I rely on while using 533 RAM divider

uik ya? but http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php latest version only 1.41

anyway i've downloaded the 1.42 and it stated /8 too. so does that mean previous readings for those who are using 3600+ with 533 ram div is wrong? at least mine are wrong

basic idea of OCing AM2 before increasing the bus speed

- disable Cool n Quiet feature
- lower HTL multiplier to X4 or X3 if necessary
- lower RAM divider to 533
- increase bus speed little by little

i hope i give the right idea to do so

you should try 1st before tweaking other stuff. for X2 3800+ F2 version, getting 2.3~2.4GHz is a proud already

you're using 667 ram div? try to run it again in 2.6GHz. sometimes got delay. but then 2.2GHz for 33 secs really fast. mine need to reach 2.8GHz

how about showing some screenshots of what you got already. post 2 cpuz, 1 cpu tab and 1 memory tab in one shot is enough. no need to put everything

i don't understand how to play ram timing part. the tightest timing i get to use is 4-4-4-12 for 2.8GHz and i don't understand the trfc part on how to tweak and so on. they say tighter ram timings give quicker response eh?

certain functionality such as HTT 3.2GHz i suppose because Phenom HTT 3.2 while AM2 HTT 2.0
